Chapter 627
"Raising too many soldiers is not a good thing; in the long run, Great Qin will be unable to bear the burden."
"Please think thrice, Your Majesty!"
"Please think thrice, Your Majesty!"
The ministers were worried; if the Emperor didn't listen, what would they do?
They hadn't forgotten the dark days when they occasionally couldn't pay the military salaries.
Every time they thought of it, they were terrified; they didn't even dare to look back.
But what they didn't realize was that the Great Qin of today was different.
Today's Great Qin had abundant grain and fodder, and the treasury was overflowing.
With strong national power and ample supplies, in such a situation,
how could there be any fear of not being able to pay military salaries?
It was just that they had been terrified in the past, and now they were afraid as soon as they heard the word "conscription."
After all, if there were too many soldiers and they couldn't pay the salaries, their problems would be huge.
When the time came, they would still have to take the blame; how could they not be afraid?
"Are you finished?"
Ying Zheng's expression turned cold.
Great Qin was his Great Qin.
He did not want anyone to obstruct the things he had decided.
He was the Heaven of Great Qin; no one dared to disobey him.
"The conscription has been considered from all sides."
"If it weren't needed, why would I conscript?"
"This is called being prepared for a rainy day."
"You don't need to go find the Crown Prince about this matter either."
"The nationwide conscription is imperative."
"No one can stop it; you will understand later."
"There is no need to ask more now, nor is there a need to inquire about anything."
"When the time comes, you will naturally know."
Ying Zheng's face was serious, and he did not reveal the truth.
Saying it now would be of no use.
The people below only needed to cooperate.
Upon hearing this, the ministers could only smile bitterly.
Since the Emperor had said so, what else could they do?
If they kept asking, the Emperor would likely get angry.
The ministers wisely kept their mouths shut.
Being obedient and keeping quiet was the best strategy.
The Emperor's prestige in Great Qin was second to none.
No one's prestige could overshadow the Qin Qin Shi Huang.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Ying Zheng asked a question.
"Is there anything else?"
The ministers looked at each other.
For a moment, who would dare to speak out of turn?
"Your Majesty, we have no other business."
Ying Zheng's expression suddenly changed.
A hint of a smile appeared on his face.
"Since there is no other business, I do have something."
Seeing the Qin Qin Shi Huang actually reveal a smile, the others felt a jolt in their hearts.
